...ends the length of the name, and then sends the name. The name is read in via read_buf so it's not null terminated. 815 size_t name_len = read_varint(f); 826 read_buf(f, name, name_len); If the sender sent --filter that had an xattr filter then this name will be passed to name_is_excluded. 834 if (saw_xattr_filter) { 835 if (name_is_excluded(name, NAME_IS_XATTR, ALL_FILTERS)) { This can lead to a heap overread as name_is_excluded is expecting a NULL terminated string. These are the arguments I'm sending to the daemon when connecting {"--server&quo...

Kudos all that maintain this awesome and enduring piece of software. Awesome job, many thanks. I’ve come across a use case that would greatly benefit form a —delete-older-than <secs> argument. This would behave the same as —delete only sparing files dest that have a creating time less than <secs> ago. How hard would this be to implement? Where would I start ? TIA, Francois

...this rule to apply (which could just be a wildcard matching anything by default, but could also use the full pattern-matching capabilities if required). Have a look at: the 'make_backups' logic in parse_arguments(), where it adds a 'Preserve' pattern to match all backup files, name_is_excluded() and its subfunctions check_filter() and rule_matches() in exclude.c You'd need to: define a new filter-type character ('R' for preserve-Recent?) define the format of the filter rule for this type e.g. how to represent the time add code to parse this new ruletype in rule_matches()...
